Well what makes BN love the wood so much is the tannins and if it isnt leeching anymore there might not be any left. You really ought to check out Memfish they typically have some really nice driftwood for awesome prices.

I was at petco today and picked up some freeze dried brine shrimp for the tigers and some algae waffers for my new baby pleco. I soon found out it doest take much of the brine shrimp to feed a lot of fish as I poured them in the tank... I also foind out that my pleco doesn't much like the algae waffers... is it maybe because I bought the cheaper broad (Wardly) or that he is just full. he doesn't do a great job or cleaning algae either I have noticed. is any of this normal? he is only about 2 to 2 1/2 inches long. and any ideas on removing pond snails that will go with my stock?_________________In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. - Martin

Thnaks osinga! I sure am! I just fouind a dead green tiger though. but he was very small and never had good coloration. I figured he wouldnt last long..._________________In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. - Martin

The tank is good and it now houses Tiger barbs and Green Tiger Barbs. My plants are growing well and nice and lush green. I will try to post some pictures when I get home . I think I will keep me stocking on the Tigers pretty low because I also have 2 albino BN plecos in the tank. I hope one is male and the other female so I can try to breed them to make a few dollars. One is right around 2 inches and the other is about 1.75 inches on the dot._________________In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. - Martin
